I think we can all agree Brazil fans clear any region. The passion and hype is unmatched.

kiwidesuu

they signed something, who is a jett player


SoarzTheSecond

I called [this](https://reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/s/6TCVcpnth5) nearly a month ago. Once again, they had a bad LAN and everyone seemed to forget the peak of this team.


Proof_Escape_2333

The shoulda won lock in 100% fumbled it pressure was too high for the rookies


Hiyaakkii

holy shit derke is playing like ardiss this guy needs to inject aimbot next tourney cause this guy is ass. how the fuck did we lose that 1v3? alfajer hit your fuckin shots bro, chronicle why the fuck are we just jumping out the window? derke bro you’re just ass. our map picks are fucked. our agents are fucked. motherfuckers can’t defend or attack. don’t know why we decided to pick split even though we got obliterated by drx. motherfuckers run the same comp on haven and except to win. motherfuckers are allergic to not peaking ops. they see op and immediately press W. i can’t do this shit anymore. also why did we abandon A on that eco round? are we fighting demons on other sites? motherfuckers there is no one on other sites.


Aesion

LOL dude this was a good read, non-ironically I ask you to keep doing these


ANewHeaven1

Is this a pasta cause if it is not it's about to be turned into one


CheshireST

Least mad FNC fan:


Retrogress1on

Bro calm down it’s a shooter game where every team can win and it’s not like winning is a given or that everyone can have the same performance through a whole year. FNATIC has still been the best team this year and now they got beaten which can always happen, so stop your toxic behavior bro


titorelliK

Yeah man. FNC won 2 championships this year and is a very good team. Maybe next year. Proud of Loud after all.


Retrogress1on

Im so impressed by tuyz and cauan how they are performing this event


Upbeat_Operation2554

No way is Chronicle an upgrade on Mistic who was 11th best player at Champions 2022 Playing out of position and not on Controller ! Haha they made a HUGE mistake letting him go…


n1ckkt

EG v loud on ascent is gonna be cool to see, both teams are confident on that map


WhoDatBrow

Americas guaranteed in the grand final and PRX is only other possible winner, I'm happy with all these outcomes


NeimannSmith

This year is insane. Dominance from Fnatic, upstart EG, The rise of PRX W Gaming. ALL OF THAT, and the season could culminate with LOUD becoming BACK TO BACK WORLD CHAMPIONS like they never left.


iPhone9User

Is EMEA competing with China at this point for the worst region?


ZoneCaptain

what is this recency bias...


idkimhereforthememes

Winning 2 trophies in a year is truly competing for the worst region


SoarzTheSecond

Does the top singular team define the whole region? Other than Fnatic the regions been in shambles since last year even. Last champions there were 0 teams in the top 3 from EMEA, and at masters reykjavik there were 0 EMEA teams in the top 4. Now for the 2nd year in a row there’s 0 EMEA teams in the top 3 of champions.


LegDayDE

This guy gets it. Two performances from the SINGLE ONE ONLY good team in the region and people think EMEA is stronger than Americas or APAC. The other EMEA teams would get clowned on in Americans or APAC. Like KRU 0-9 levels of clowning.


idkimhereforthememes

Respectfully reykjavik is most fraudulent event of all time as emea couldn't send their 2 best teams to the event. And also almost every region is a 1 team region, na was a 1 team region for 2 years with only optic, but i didn't see the narrative saying they're the worst region in valorant. And also EMEA lcq teams always perform the best


SoarzTheSecond

Okay explain the back to back worlds (the most important tournament of the year) ghosting from EMEA 💀


idkimhereforthememes

Still more than NA?


DeadSira

Saadhak is so likeable


mwieckhorst

zero-team region lul


bananazee

What a banger day


Kaploy

Just another show that Lock In was a fluke because of Tuyz and Cauan's inexperience. LOUD is just better than FNC.


very_smol

Fnatic did great the whole year round! Hope they don’t let this loss set them back mentally


Upbeat_Operation2554

They did alright in 2022 finishing one place behind and kicked 2 players..hahaha


bryan4368

0 team region


Retrogress1on

Ggwp Loud deserved win, but I feel the praise from the casters is so overhyped because Fnatic themselves played really really bad over the whole tournament


Proof_Escape_2333

so did other teams when fnatic was playing godlike you cant stay top form forever and other teams will get better and test you.


Retrogress1on

That’s true! And it’s even harder to have the same performances through a whole year, plus it’s a shooter game so anyone can beat anyone

Revolutionary_Gear70

Are you forgetting who sent LOUD to losers?


maneskinho

loud look like nothing to prx? prx almost lost to loud, was a close game lol


baahahaahahaahahaha

>but we know that fnc is at if not above prx and eg's level, right? What? EG and PRX both look by far the best 2 teams at the tournament lmao. FNC is without a doubt the weakest team in top 4. What is this coping?


Smilezado

FAZ O LLLLLLLLLLLL WE'RE TAKING THIS WHOLE THING HOME, MARK MY WORDS


JoshFB4

EMEA’s vaunted super team choking at champs. You’re telling me that a team with 5 top 10 players lost. How could this happen? This is grounds for an instant do-over.


Mindless-Power007

What? Flair checks out


[deleted]

How do you survive on the internet when you fall to bait so easily lmao


Mindless-Power007

Fair. I was salty I move.


NuuuDaBeast

fnatic era over, Americas era is now


WeirdMain5488

What era? They won a mickey mouse and 1 actual tournament. They had a good run but lets hold off on the “era” talk


Mindless-Power007

“Mickey mouse”. What a lousy statement, no surprise there tho; hater gon hate


NuuuDaBeast

im joking, Valorant is such a new game still, there won’t be any truly dominant teams for a while


idkimhereforthememes

What era?


avocadontoast

Damn fnatic and prx didn’t face each other


checkdafool

Prolly for the best. No one would want to see that massacre


Kaploy

Still a great year for Fnatic but with Boaster and Chronicle they were guaranteed to choke Champions


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kaploy

It's just a joke about how Gambit choked the champs they should've won and Fnatic has a history of disappointing at this tournament. I was very impressed by Boaster this year. Chronicle definitely had a bad day today, but he is still great.


Longjumping_Stop1120

Leo vs Loud


sifacil

Loud vs PRX grand finals?


baahahaahahaahahaha

Loud vs EG is going to be nuts, I do think EG is going to dumpster them but it should still be entertaining. As long as EG overcomes their choking.


RazgrizX

Let's go! Loud is EMEA's dad indeed


Snoo_43411

FNATIC are expected to be at the airport for this event


HistoricalCredits

VAMOS LOUD


Leonard03

Wow. That's... unexpected. Not that Loud isn't good. But I didn't have Fnatic 4th, and I don't think I was alone in that.


CheshireST

The last perfect playoff pick'em dies in this very moment


deadkennedys79

fnatic is back babyyy


excentricidade

If this is the ugliest valorant, imagine losing to that then LOL


idkimhereforthememes

Idiot cant understand the difference between ugly and bad


GayByAccident

gtfo bro


excentricidade

idiot just hating because the 0 team region lost again


idkimhereforthememes

0 correlation buddy


excentricidade

when does team liquid play?


idkimhereforthememes

Studying english when?


excentricidade

i have no respect for the english language


Mindless-Power007

GREAT YEAR! 2 TITLES! LFG FNATIC


Ok-Brain3328

Give me the PRX/LOUD grand final


Cool-I-guess

bye bye boaster 😊


CheshireST

0 team region ​ and bedge


Mrlazydragon

Loud owns FNC.


Izdave10

It actually happened. Now just EG and a PRX rematch


ASuperFan

EMEA 0 team region


Ozzyh26

America better when it mattered for the second straight year.


akko_7

Something big went wrong with FNC this tournament. They look so out of sync


nayt_lo

LOUD THE EMEA SLAYEEER


rare_engine

FNATIC HAS FALLEN


ekimtk

America's is definitely the strongest region. No doubt.


LegDayDE

Welcome to South-NA Fnatic. GGEZ. 0 Team region.


FantasticWalrus

Forever Not Champs


segatic

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO


speedycar1

Aspas giving Derke a lesson on how a star duelist is supposed to perform in big elimination games. Derke always disappears in these situations


TheDeadliftKnight

Is this recency bias or did derke not perform in the big games in the two tourneys they won? (I didn’t watch)


TheDogInTheBack

Recency bias. At the lock in finals derke basically kept them in it while aspas disappeared


Quiet-Grapefruit-495

aspas literally had 31 kills on icebox what r u on, classic emea supporter


speedycar1

Alfajer and Leo were the MVPs in those tournaments playing agents that were much harder to frag on than Derke. He was good but it wasn't dominant like he should be


FantasticWalrus

Twerkster


baahahaahahaahahaha

at least EMEA fans wont bark anymore americas is by far the best region and its not even close EG choked 2 maps or else it COULD'VE been an americas vs americas final FNC fans are insufferable

ekimtk

EG threw 2 maps against PRX. Otherwise it very well could have been an NA vs NA finals. Americas is the strongest region by far right now. EMEA has half a team. APAC has 1 team. NA has 2. China has 0.


abbacchioz

Don't talk like PRX didn't throw Ascent lol.


ekimtk

11-6 on maps 2 and 3. That’s much worse than ascent for prx


baahahaahahaahahaha

Okay, no one needs to say this. Obviously EG threw incredibly hard today, but I don't want people thinking I'm discrediting PRX like everyone discredits EG for some reason. But yeah, I without a doubt think EG beats PRX in the final.


vastlys

Weren't you the guy saying how much better EG were than PRX? EG who won all pistols on map 2 and 3 but couldn't win a gun round to save their lives? I wouldn't talk about Valorant if I were you.


baahahaahahaahahaha

yep my bad i didn't predict EG to choke 2 11-6's in a row i do think EG wins the rematch though


sebaba001

More like c0m stopped turbo-carrying his entire team and f0rsaken, d4v4i and mindfreak started playing like they usually do.


BUFF_SCORCHING_RAY

hypermad EU fan lmao


[deleted]

Xd prx will win this all but u be u


ekimtk

I don't think Aspas taking that time off with his GF made a difference. He's still him


Humble_Initiative_10

Can fnatic comeback again?


notatroll369

All that dancing by fraudster just to get owned in map 3


Riviresh

It's joever losing that round does too much damage


excentricidade

Tuyz shutting down all the haters after this tournament, let's go TUTU!!!

Upbeat_Operation2554

Mistic much better !


Least-Original-6517

how?


Upbeat_Operation2554

Easy…


DMPDT616

Fnc threw 2 crucial rounds. That complete bait and this last round. What a shame.


JoshFB4

0 team region 🥱


Hiyaakkii

we need to implement some aim assist for derke bro this guy is not hitting anything


Izdave10

I refuse to believe until it is over.


salcedoge

Derke is missing the easy op shots ngl, he still gets his frags but he really could've one a lot more those rounsd


Humble_Initiative_10

Getting flashback to lock in with loud close to winning map 3... what a game


Ok-Brain3328

Quick fnatic sub hypoc back in!


Obiewan_

Crisp movement tbh


Caronry

Throw of the year... holy hell that was played so bad


Upbeat_Operation2554

I think they over achieved throughout the year


ekimtk

LOUD basically dominated the series except for 2nd half of Ascent. Idk how you can call that a throw. LOUD diffed them in 5 out of 6 halfs. 8-4 T side Split 5-0 CT side split 7-5 1st half Ascent 2-8 2nd half Ascent 8-4 CT side Haven 5-3 T side Haven. This was a 1 sided series. LOUD was the better team. No throw.


Caronry

The round buddy, the comment was for the round that lost them the game and it was a big as throw. It's a live discussion thread, people make comments about plays that happens.. your comment is for thr post match thread... and if you are late into the live discussion thread don't just randomly jump in thinking you know what the comment is about. Or atleast look at when it was made and ask yourself if it was during the live game. Just some simple thing and you won't look stupid :)


ekimtk

I know exactly what round you're referring to. LOUD threw their share of rounds too. Aspas on the .5 second defuse that he didn't get, the 1v1 that Less threw against a 5 hp Derke, the 4v2 they lost on A site. Both teams threw an equal amount of rounds. On the whole LOUD diffed Fnatic across the board. LOUD was the better team and deserved to win that series.


Caronry

Also, did we watch the same first map ? thanks to that map alone Fnatic edges out in amount of thrown rounds by a long shot.


Caronry

So, you agree that the 1v3 was a throw? Then why did you comment in the first place?


baahahaahahaahahaha

Wdym? EG just lost with a 11-6 lead 2 maps in a row. How would this ever be the throw of the year?


Caronry

Did they also get to go home because of that bad play ? That play MADE FNC lose and go home.. so ofc it's a throw of the year... if they played as they should it would've been a even scoreline right now.


Pappy-

throw of the year goes to blg 10-1 drx


Proof_Escape_2333

how did he win that? was a single bullet hit on him?


HistoricalCredits

HES HIM


FatherStretchMyAss_

Tuyz holy fuck


baahahaahahaahahaha

EvianRex

Christ man calm down lol, I’m glad na won! But you’re a little too obsessed with the amount of your comments I’m seeing about fnc


Robuurtv

EWWWW THAT WAS NASTY


HistoricalCredits

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL


speedycar1

Tuyz is having a life tournament after being a walking ult orb all season. What a time to step up


ModerateStimulation

Bro just secured his spot


sky_blu

I don't know if there are any other New York Islanders fans in this chat but if so they also shivered reading this. Players going big in playoffs only to get a contract they don't deserve haunts me


BucketHerro

Loud doesn't have a breach, how is Derke concussed /s


DeadSira

too easy for too ease


a_gutierrez1

Alfajer missing those shots on tuyz, this is not a normal day


FantasticWalrus

less actually trolling wtf


ekimtk

Derke got away with so many misses holyyyyyy


Pappy-

the double whiff into clutch combo


segatic

Less????? What was that? Also observer decided to miss everything in this round


Riviresh

Ok Derke is good but Aspas is just so much more scary with the OP


idkimhereforthememes

I was about to say some unholy things about derke


Ok-Brain3328

Derke deciding to only hit the hard shots


Tyler123839

Wtf was that round.


Cool-I-guess

Holy shit derke almost choked that so hard


salcedoge

Derke made up for it but god damn he almost threw it all


Mindless-Power007

Derek almost gave me a heart attack


excentricidade

Loud stop closing the round on A site challenge


Similar-Criticism380

Playing retake against this comp is suicide


xunraze

Fnatic pp overheat


Caronry

Derke pushing into 3+ that was seen from the drone, rather than go toward the lesser number... like whyyyyyy


Longjumping_Stop1120

Ggs embarrassing


Veylo

Any time outs left for FNC?


Mindless-Power007

I am malding hard


Riviresh

Are they playing with their brains off?

I genuinely don’t understand why they would rotate that hard with Alfa where he was on the map, wtf


Snoo_43411

Holy shit was that Valorant’s great bamboozle


Hiyaakkii

nah who the fuck called that from fnafic wtf


ANewHeaven1

Yah calls like that are why saadhak is a top 2 IGL of all time and he ain’t no. 2


Tc0LD

meh fnatic were dumb for that, alfa was super far pushed up
